We’ll be honest with you, it has been quite some time since Bridgestone had a real presence in the enduro competition market.
Many green laners will be familiar with their long-standing Gritty range, which has now been replaced with the all-new Battlecross E50, which arrived in standard front and rear options at the beginning of last year.
This tyre represented a BIG leap forward for Bridgestone, as they look to take on some of the other big players in the competition enduro game.
New for 2020, the Japanese tyre giant has expanded on this range even further with the introduction of the Battlecross E50 Extreme soft rear tyre, which is now in stock in the Cambrian Tyres warehouse.
Castle Block Technology
Borrowed from their championship winning motocross range, these blocks create additional edge effect for more consistent performance over changing surfaces.
When the tyre is fully buried in the terrain surface, this offers additional traction power to help power you along.
New Soft Compound
Bridgestone have developed a brand new and very soft compound which offers big increases in grip when tackling extreme enduro like conditions.
Make lighter work of log crossings, rock gardens and other obstacles.
Easily identified by the yellow band running around the tyre.
Performance Gains
The result of the changes over the standard E50 include a 25% improvement in performance levels on extreme rocky terrain.
The Battlecross E50 Extreme also takes things to another level on logs and in root-strewn woodland, while also offering more accurate handling on the most technical of terrain types.
The new E50 Extreme has been extensively tested by Bridgestone in a wide range of hard and extreme enduro conditions to ensure that if offers maximum performance on the most demanding types of terrain.
